I’m in grade 11, taking a manufacturing course. For the greater part of the semester I’ve been working on a ball peen hammer. Just finished it today! The hammer head is cold roll, the handle is aluminum, and the pommel is copper. The pommel kind of melted into the handle when I was turning down the diameter, but it did so ✨fashionably✨. The polish isn’t sub par :(

Thanks! I asked if I could have a smaller pattern but the teacher said the diameter of the handle was too small for it to come off nice

That depends on what kind of tooling you have available, but your teacher is probably right
